Unemployment Insurance Taxes to Increase 54% in 2010
No sooner has the dust settled from the Governor's announcement that she intends to seek tax increases in 2010 to help shore up the $2.6 billion budget deficit than the Employment Security Department today announced that Unemployment Insurance taxes for the state's employers are going up in 2010.
In a release from ESD, Commissioner Karen Lee outlined the plan that will see the average total tax rate to increase from 1.55 percent in 2009 to an estimated 2.38 percent in 2010 -- a 54% increase, even if the 2010 rate is less than the previous recession-recovery years of 2004-05.
The joys of being a small business owner... Our Governor was an
incompetent Attorney General before she ran for the
office of Governor.
If I didn't love where I lived and what I am doing, I would think about packing up and moving to Texas...
